Pirate: I am King Luffy

“It looks good, but isn’t it too short?”

Luffy pinched Uta's hair and pulled up the white short T-shirt, revealing a black sports lingerie with a gathering effect. Uta's canteen formed a Y shape, which looked very nice.

Uta blushed immediately, "Mo~ Luffy really!"

"This is a very normal outfit. Don't do anything that girls would dislike!" Uta tapped Luffy's head and taught him.

“I’m so sorry…”

Luffy put down his clothes and continued to help Uta comb her hair. Uta opened her headwear box, which contained a row of headbands of different styles that looked like headphones.

Uta chose one for Luffy, and then Luffy held the two pairs of rings that looked like rabbit ears and put a headband on Uta. Uta's rabbit hair collided with each other, and she showed a happy smile.

"Do you want Uta to help carry some?" Uta asked Luffy as he looked at the luggage the girls were giving to Luffy.

"No, I'll just jump down from the upper floor later. It'll be faster this way." Luffy didn't want to take the stairs.

"Then you have to protect your luggage, otherwise you will be scolded."

"Let's go find Crocodile...will Uta help us then?"

The girl asked as she stuffed the microphone into her fourth-dimensional pocket under Luffy's jealous gaze.

"There probably won't be a fight. I don't like doing things that I can't help with." Luffy said.

“Just go and negotiate and do the best you can.”

"Are the Seven Warlords of the Sea the culprits that caused the chaos in Vivi's country?" Uta asked Luffy.

"He should have enough money and status, so he can live happily on his own. Why would he want to hurt others?"

"For the desires of man...are never ended."

Luffy pressed the girl's shoulder. Uta relaxed her body comfortably, but tilted her head in some incomprehension.

"I hope it can be solved before Weiwei's birthday. This will be her birthday present from her brother."

"Come on, let Uta complete the work of healing the wounds."

Uta made a fist towards Luffy.

Luffy jumped out of the window carrying a heavy luggage. There was a group of duck runners waiting for him below. Luffy only needed to throw the luggage to the duck runners.

Vivi was wearing a blue striped fitted dress, the gather effect made her chest look big, she was only wearing white shorts and white high-heeled boots, and the high ponytail made Vivi look very lively.

With this outfit, Luffy could only see her legs under her shorts. The white and tender thigh flesh and smooth and graceful skin curves were a little dazzling to Luffy's eyes. And because of the high-heeled short boots, she looked particularly tall overall.

"We will take a straight line from Aruba to the Rainland..." Vivi said to Luffy while holding the map of Alabasta.

From Aruba, we walked more than 100 kilometers to reach the inland river, then crossed the more than 100-kilometer-wide Holy River to reach the other side of the river, and finally walked more than 100 kilometers to reach the final destination, Yudi.

The distance in a straight line alone is about 500 kilometers.

If you drive a sand truck, the ideal time is to reach the rainy area in just thirty hours. In reality, it may take longer, after all, sandstorms and sand bandits are also interfering factors.

The girls gathered outside the palace one after another, rode on the Running Duck, and walked out of the palace and into the capital. The royal sand cart was already parked. It was an extra-large sand cart with three sail masts, as huge as a ship.

"Sand sailing." Nami said with her hands on her hips.

"Sail!"

The soldier driving the car pressed the corresponding button, the gears turned with a click, and then the sails were extended. The huge sand car was pushed out by the wind and sailed across the desert.

"Would you like some fruit?"

Nojiko cut the fruits and shared them with everyone. She had changed her clothes and there was nothing unusual on her face. Like Nami, she was good at hiding herself, but better than Nami because she was her older sister, right?

Uta was biting the watermelon and eating it. While eating, Nami was directing the driver to turn according to the changes in wind direction, trying to make the most of the wind power to sail on the sea of ​​sand.

"What a huge sand cart..." Some sand bandits riding camels looked at the sand cart from afar and licked their lips greedily.

"Forget it...it's the royal family's car, there will be a lot of soldiers on it."

A sand bandit saw the mark on the sail and shook his head.

"So what? They're robbing the royal family too." A few disdainful sand bandits drove their camels, preparing to take a detour and encircle the enemy.

When someone takes the lead, more sand bandits will follow.

However, they did not notice that there was a giant bird circling high in the sky, and when they moved, it seemed to have discovered its target and rushed down.

A fighter plane flew in the sky, swooping down and shooting, easily leaving behind a lot of corpses.

"Luffy, stop hugging my Kalu and don't touch its chin!" Vivi complained angrily to Luffy in the sand cart.

"What does it matter? Doesn't Karu like being touched by me too?" Luffy said. On such a sand cart, Luffy felt like riding a train, except that it was much more spacious than a train.

Because he had nothing to do, Luffy went to play with the ducks, but Vivi also wanted to stay with Kalu, as she hadn't seen Kalu for more than a year.

So conflicts broke out.

"Ga~" Kalu tilted his head and fell into Luffy's arms and was touched by him.

"Kalu!!!" Weiwei stomped her feet in anger. It was obviously her pet, but it betrayed her so quickly!

Some soldiers would look at the interaction between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lieutenant Luffy with sidelong glances, and couldn't help but think that this guy was so arrogant and had so many beautiful girls following him.

After playing around for a while, Vivi sat down and looked through the information about Alabasta.

"Yobah... was swallowed up by a sandstorm, and an oasis disappeared." Vivi frowned, thinking about Yobah. It was a very large city, but it was swallowed up.

The hard work of a generation was ruthlessly swallowed up by the desert. Dancing powder... If no one used dancing powder, this would not have happened.

Thinking of this, Vivi once again recalled a scene she saw when she was traveling with Luffy.

Nami summoned dark clouds and killed a devil fruit user with a lightning strike. The lightning was orange-yellow.

That was the only time Nami took action.

"Nami..." Vivi sat next to Nami who was reading a book and spoke softly.

"Well, what's wrong?" Nami asked her.

"You've created dark clouds before, right? What kind of power is that, a devil fruit?"

"No, it's the power of science." Nami shook her head.

"Combined with climatology, manipulating cold and warm air currents..." Nami took out her gun and showed it to Vivi.

"So, you can create rain clouds?" Weiwei asked.

Nami was silent for a moment.

Yes, it can create rain clouds, but the power of this gun is such that if it is used to create rain clouds in Alabasta, it can only be small-scale rain clouds because the weather is too hot.

If you want a powerful mode, you can only use the Shigure Bullet. That bullet... what Luffy mentioned is actually something like dancing powder.

It's just some processing and concentration.

Nami still told the truth about the performance of this gun. She couldn't say, "I can create rain clouds, but I won't let your country use them." This would destroy friendship.

"Are you also using dancing powder?" Weiwei seemed to find it difficult to understand this because dancing powder is a prohibited item.

She subconsciously lowered her voice, not wanting the soldiers to hear her.

"Oh, what should I do if Vivi finds out about my criminal secret?" Luffy happened to pass by and heard her words, and said with some worry.

"Luffy, you can't do this. If you are discovered, you will be investigated and arrested by the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau!"

Vivi subconsciously advised Luffy.

"What evidence is there? This is clearly called Shigure Bullet, and it was developed by me and Uncle Kizaru." Luffy knocked on Vivi's head.

"Then..." Weiwei was confused for a moment. What on earth was this?

"Weiwei is really cute."

Luffy looked at Vivi like this and couldn't help but want to play a prank on her.

"This is something made by dancing powder. What should I do, Weiwei? I discovered a secret that cannot be told to anyone... You have to keep this secret for me forever, otherwise, I will..."

Before he could finish his threat, Nami punched Luffy on the head.

"pain!"

"You deserve it. Speak properly!" Nami snorted.

"Now that Weiwei knows, let me tell you my plan."

Luffy said.

"I've suggested this to you before. If Alabasta is short of water, why not use dancing powder?"

"You have no neighbors, which means you have no disputes. As long as you make full use of the power of dancing powder, you can plunder water vapor resources from the sea continuously. It will rain whenever Alabasta wants."

Luffy said.

"But it's illegal..." Weiwei said.

"So this is not called dancing powder, this is called Shigure Bullet. It was developed by Admiral Kizaru and me, and it's certified by the Navy. Who dares to call it dancing powder?" Luffy said with a smile.

"Dancing powder is a powder, and the ammunition for the Shigure Bullet is liquid."

"It won't work if we just change the name..."

"People who don't understand scientific matters shouldn't talk nonsense." Luffy said as a matter of course.

"Let me tell you about my plan... Weiwei, I'm going to use this thing to completely change your country."

Luffy looked at Vivi and said gently.

"Of course, this has nothing to do with Weiwei. I did it. Weiwei just tried to stop me, but failed."

"that's it."

Chapter 278 Arrival at the Rain Banquet

"do not want!"

Vivi frowned, she thought about it for a while and quickly rejected Luffy's decision.

"There's no need for us to take such risks. It will be very troublesome if we are discovered..." Weiwei shook her head.

"Luffy, you don't need to do this...Although Alabasta is facing a water shortage, we can endure it..."

"Both of you, don't make such a hasty decision!" Nami endured for a while, then slapped the table.

"I'm a navigator. You are all unreliable when it comes to weather matters. I'm the one who can make the most decisions!"

"Listen carefully, Alabasta's water resources problem can be properly solved, but it requires money, a lot of money!" said Nami.

"Remember four years ago, we traveled to most cities to promote sand carts?" Nami said.

"Although we only passed through the main prosperous cities, it was also a circle around the entire Alabasta. I can deeply feel the problem of water vapor distribution in Alabasta..." Nami said seriously.

"If I use the power of the Weather Gun..." Nami looked at her Weather Gun.

A plan gradually took shape in her mind.

"What are you talking about?" Uta listened to the argument and came over curiously, eating a donut in her hand.

"I want one!" Luffy opened his mouth and moved forward.

Uta stuffed a donut into Luffy's mouth, and Luffy swept his tongue over Uta's finger and sucked it.

"It's so dirty!" Uta wiped his hands on Luffy's clothes in disgust.

"We are discussing how to solve the problem of rainwater resources." Luffy said while chewing.

"In short, we need to establish a large-scale water circulation system."

"By the way, we can simulate the process in Uta's dream first." Nami said.

"But can Uta hold on? Replicate the entire terrain of Alabasta in the dream?"

"If it's just the venue...I should be able to do it now." Uta thought for a while and said.

"I can try."

"Then let's treat these things as future work. I don't want to think about the future anymore." Luffy said, stretching lazily.
